More Techy Stuff... No More RAW... and Thanks to Paul L

My experiment with RAW is over!

I had about 150 RAW in one folder on my external hard drive. Well... Things really bogged down, at 25 megs a pop it was like watching paint dry. Geeze!

I read the article sent to me by Paul. JPEG is just fine for 99% of what people do. To be on the safe side I converted the RAWs to TIFFs (non-lossies). By comparison, it is like the Daytona 500. Uuurah!

ahem... I've followed the debate on the site and I have been really good at shutting up (so far) but... not keeping raw files is like shooting film and throwing the negatives once you developed... if that's ok with you, then fine. ;-)
